Wow, first post of the new year and I'm posting MORE bad news for the comics industry!
First, comics legend, Will Eisner, creator of the long running character The Spirit who first appeared in 1939, passed away on Monday due to complications quadruple bypass surgery performed on December 22. He was 87.
His passing is just one of about 3 in recent days of legends leaving the comics world forever. But, as always, looking on the bright side: He lived a long and wonderful life, he gave the world many great pieces of art as well as the character The Spirit, and he was beloved by many.
In other BAD NEWS:
Transformers: Generation One publisher Dreamwave Comics has apparently today announced they are CLOSING UP SHOP. Meaning, like Chaos! Comics a few years ago, like CrossGen Comics last year, Dreamwave is gone. No more Transformers: Generation One comics which really SUCKS because it was a great series with awsome art and awsome characters!
I never read much from CrossGen but I loved the Transformers books Dreamwave was doing, I followed Generation One like I followed Chaos! Comics so this news hits in a soft place.
This news also makes me realize I need to find friends out here that are into comic books so I have someone to talk to.
Will Eisner you will be missed.
Dreamwave Comics: Say it isnt so!
